Muslims in Kenya received word that the Islamic terrorist group Al-Shabaab was going to attack a group of about twenty Christians, and so they informed them of what was coming before it happened according to a report, and they also helped the Christians get to safety:
Muslims are said to have warned 20, mostly Christian employees at a government hospital of an attack by a jihadist fundamentalist group in Kutulo town, Kenya.
The building site for a government hospital in Kutulo was being constructed by non-local Christian workers when locals were reportedly warned about an imminent al-Shabaab attack on July 21st, according to Open Doors, a charity serving persecuted Christians.
A number of Muslim locals quickly warned the workers to leave the site and helped evacuate them to safety.
“They confronted the gunmen who proceeded to the site and failed to get what they wanted. [The attackers] opened fire but no one was injured before they escaped,” north-eastern regional commissioner Mohamed Birik told media.
The foiled attack took place in Mandera County, in the northeast corner of Kenya. This area borders Somalia and is Muslim majority. According to an Open Doors worker, this was a “show of solidarity from locals”.
The Open Doors worker said: “The area feels more like Somalia than Kenya and usually is a very hostile place for Christians. Most of Believers who live here came here from other areas of the country for work and some for ministry. But they are treated like unwanted outsiders and face a lot of harassment and the continuous threat of targeted al-Shabaab attacks.
“Please thank the Lord with us that another bloodbath was prevented. Pray that this kind of action will become the new norm in this area. Pray for the protection over those who took this bold move.”
The militant Islamist group al-Shabaab has stated publically that it wants Somalia free of all Christians. (source, source)
